I was at this concert, AND it was my birthday when it happened. funny story: during a break between the songs, James yelled "is everyone having a good time!?", and i yelled YEAH so loud that James chuckled by responding "ok ok calm down" while waving in my direction. Best. Birthday present. Ever.
After 24 gigs, there is no doubt Poland ranks among the best places I've been too, all over Europe (coming from Denmark). Everything from the city, the people and especially both gigs were absolutely stellar. I'll definitely come back next tour if they play there again.
I am 53 now and never ever was on Metallica concert. I am so happy that I was there ! Although my heart belongs to Scorpions since I was 16, I am telling you: that was the best concert in my life. Really. I will NEVER forget it! THANK YOU METALLICA ! And one thing: when the concert started, you guys played despite the intensive rain. No behave like a diva, respect !!!
I remember the crowd moshing to this song that evening, it was my first concert after dreaming about it for years. This night will definitely leave unforgettable memories
20 years ago in Gothenburg, Blackened was the first song I heard Metallica perform live. They were great already then, but unbelievably, they're even better today, 20 years later!
Man, Lars is feckin' KILLING it. The rehearsing with a click is really paying off. This is the most consistent he's sounded since the early 90's. To make that kind of change is never easy. What an absolute badass.
"In digital music processing technology, quantization is the studio-software process of transforming performed musical notes, which may have some imprecision due to expressive performance, to an underlying musical representation that eliminates the imprecision. The process results in notes being set on beats and on exact fractions of beats."
@@FKCENSORSHIP unfortunately the bass drum is quantised as fuck post recording after the soundboard. if you dont know what quantization i'd suggest learning about that kinda stuff :D lars is a legend no doubt, nothing left to prove, the quantising is why the double bass sounds good in this recording and anything that probably sounds good live from him released by metallica

Moscow and Seattle may have something to say about that... Plus, way too many phones up, couldn't see any bug mosh pit happening? (Or was the pit banned at this show due to "safety"?)
@@JamesWilliams-nb8ig you can compare it with any audience recording from Warsaw, Lars ALWAYS (even in '89, even on the Live Sh!t DVD) stopped the double bass runs a couple measures early, he could never really push it to a neat stop on the crash hit. And the normalisation on some bass drum hits is so wild it sounds like it's whiffing or something. I want to make clear that I love Lars, love the band, and that their performance is more live than 99% of the acts out there. I'm just pinpointing stuff because: 1) it's silly to think Lars is a god because of a doctored audio, the very same way it's stupid to say he sucks when there are obvious quality/technical issues 2) it's sad that music industry set these standards where this tweaks are mandatory
This isn't bad, BUT.... I've been in this concert and GOD this vid doesn't even give back the 5% of the whole vibe. They are freakin loud and chrystal clear. It was like 115 dB in the whole stadium. They kicked the asses of 75 000 people for two hours for two days and WE LOVED IT!!!
Yea, the energy on this song was insane. I was in the first row in the snake pit, but I said fuck it and went into moshpit on this one when I heard the intro :D
One of my top 5 Metallica songs. For me, this is up there with That Was Just Your Life and Battery (all 3 are the 1st songs on their respective albums too)
Big job here does post production. But even live they had probably the best mixing I've heard, wich is especially impressive since PGE has really bad acoustics.
@@zbigniewiksinski man shut the hell up. I'm trying to be positive here. You can just tell what people are like even for a second. You're probably a kid and have zero experience with reading body language. I'm not even a psychologist/expert in body language and I know that shit.
I feel like they sound even better than they did 10 years ago!! Not like they’ve ever sounded bad, but they sound great! Screw old age. They are punching old age in the face 🤘🏻🤘🏻💪🏻💪🏻
There is nothing better than waiting with bated breath and have that spotlight shine on James. You know you’re in for a good time when he strums that guitar and Lars beats the drums, followed swiftly by Rob and Kirk! Chicago, August 11th… best night of my life.
A rare treat! They only played it live twice in the last century and even with the shortened version it's still easily one of my favorite metallica songs.
How are these guys still so f**king awesome all these decades later? Still one of the best bands to see live.
Because they're Metallica
Actually, the best.
Not just any guys...They are METALLICA 🤘
BECAUSE THEY STILL HAVE IT, that's why
Epic!!!
Hearing that intro live made me lose my shit. Such a good fucking performance
Yeah, and then I could not hear James' guitar whole show on my side. Such a turn down. Poor speaker mix live. I was so angry. It was barely audible.
Holy fuck that intro gave me chills. I hope they play it when I see them in a few weeks

My birthday too but I wasn’t there as I live in the states…was at the Detroit shows!
are you in this video?
@@samiraabuser i'm not sure. i could be, but i haven't looked that deep
Papa het talked to you that’s so epic I’m jealous congrats
@Soccerplayer9-o8t even trying to get any of Metallica's members' attention is an achievement of its own
Blackened is such an amazing song with such a great riff 🔥
riff gods!
immo their best song and riff (thanks Jason!)
Can't be, really ?
Created by Jason newsted
AJFA best metallica album
That bassguitar looks absolutely stunning.
The two best colors I’ve seen on robs bass is gold, and baby blue. Both of those are perfect for a bass imo
Now if only we could hear it.

yeah and they skipped it
One of the heaviest riffs in their discography!
Jason Newsted wrote the main riff 🤘
The verse riff in particular.

Man James looks so badass now. Idk why but it feels like he's combined his late 90s look with his more modern look and its so badass.
Sodom
I just living going to Metallica consert. I hope at the future :)
Blackened is possibly Metallica’s greatest achievement song structure wise
6:56 I’m in love
Finally got to see Blackened Live and was worth the wait!! Poland you rocked! 🤘🏻🫡🇵🇱
Wrong flag lmao
@@Kurwaslayer 🤦🏻♂️ thank you!
Hot damn Blackened is soooo good when you can hear the crunchy bass!

yooo it was my first concert too, but on friday
Colour our world BLACKENED

Bylo bardzo zajebiscie
3:55 sounds so good
3:07 That’s what it's all about! Rip it up! 🤘🏼

Łooo kurwa Metallica nadal utrzymuje poziom!
BLACKENED! 🔥🤘 06:55
I wonder how it feels to have so many fans around the world
one off the best live songs for sure
Lars killed it.
Its a undescribable thing that I can hear myself in the audio at the beginning… glad I was there, I love them all!
Love metallica
my absolute top 1 of the Metallica's discography
Man. The solo shots of James in the beginning 🔥🔥🔥
The energy was fucking incredible. Hope to see you guys again soon🤘🤘
One of the Best riffs ever
Blackened still fucking rules and Metallica Forever
Unreal. These guys are still ripping it live. Living legends.
Aint that the truth... theyre increfible
5:30 this is by far my favorite part of the performance listen to James’ guitar oh I love it
Been a fan for 40 years and glad to see them still crushing it.
They just get better n better. Man, i can think of anyone that rocks truth this hard except Christopher Bollyn. His truth about the world.

my all time favourite Metallica song, and what a performance, thank you Metallica!
This is epic track. Show in Warsaw was brilliant. Thank you, guys.
Rob's voice at 6:37 was absolutely insane
Oh yes! it's so blackened with a boost!
4:55 THAT WAS SO FCKNG GOOD!!

One of my top 5 Metallica songs. For me, this is up there with That Was Just Your Life and Battery (all 3 are the 1st songs on their respective albums too)
2:05 fantastic touch from Kirk.
🎶 wow 😁 6:56
That girl is pure fucking metal
Thank You ❤@@nimnu6560
Now that's what I'm talking about. She's a keeper for whoever she's with or gets with later.
They sound incredible live, I was there! Hope they will come back to Poland soon 🤘🖤
That's my favorite Band, I seen them 9 times from Maine to Hawaii and all on the East Coast.
Love them forever ♾️
The sound of each instrument is clear and the soloist is even more intelligible. Congratulations to the sound technicians in Poland.
Lot’s of editing in the studio afterwards. ✌️
Big job here does post production. But even live they had probably the best mixing I've heard, wich is especially impressive since PGE has really bad acoustics.
What a kick ass crowd
Band delivered but so did the crowd 🤘
Exodus
This show stays with me forever!!!!
Long Live The Kings!!!!
6:55 Love of my life
This Crowd has been unreal
I'm a guitar player but I absolutely love Lars and what he does on the drums for this song!!! Much RESPECT to him!!! 😆😆😆😆😆
🤦♂️
Love love love Lars and his energy that he puts into every song ❤️
If we had a time machine I would definitely go back to this concert.
Best intro riff ever!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Chicago, August 11th… best night of my life.
My favorite Metallica song of all time!
Was in moshpits in the back during this song. Insane. I went from the first rows to the back for the moshpits
That night's setlist was honestly amazing. Aside from nothing from Death Magnetic, songs choices were perfected
This is how the lighting should look at all the time! Looks great!
As far as I loved the fastest live versions, the actual record tempo settles the debate: these guys are timeless!
the golden bass from Trujillo looks so nice, as well as the sound
At last, Blackened!! 🤟🤘🔥
This one had me going nuts live for The first Time. Unforgettable concert. Possible The best part of The concert.
An amazing song from a Masterpiece album
A rare treat! They only played it live twice in the last century and even with the shortened version it's still easily one of my favorite metallica songs.

Who is she😍

That super clean double pedal 🫡
One of my favourite Metallica solos
Keep on keeping on guys!!!! Forever!!!!❤❤❤❤😊 Rock on !!!!;!! No matter where you play!!!!;😊
Man it was so fucking cool to experience this live
